Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] drm/gem: replace misleading comment
Date: Sun, 25 May 2014 14:34:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401021252-29006-1-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com> (raw)
shmem supports page-relocations during swapin since quite some time. It
was implemented in:
commit bde05d1ccd512696b09db9dd2e5f33ad19152605
Author: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Date: Tue May 29 15:06:38 2012 -0700
shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone
The gem-comment about wrongly placed DMA32 pages is no longer valid.
Replace it with a proper comment but keep the BUG_ON() to verify correct
shmem behavior.
